He worked under the State as well as Central Governments and finally settled in a British Company, Kvaerner Powergas India Ltd. He retired from this company in 1990 as Senior Project Officer and thereafter worked there itself for eight long years on extended contract basis. He finally retired in March 1998. During his tenure in the Company, he participated in many trekking activities sponsored by the Company’s Staff Club. He also made many trips to Himalayas. In 1997, he completed the arduous Amarnath Yatra and next year itself undertook the Kailash-Mansarovar Yatra. He contributed many informative articles to Staff Club’s magazine.
